Dead Sea Scrolls

Best darn CAD58.00 I had ever spent yesterday. Our flight from TO
back to Shanghai was delayed for 9 hours. With our hotel location,
the Royal Ontario Museum was just kiddy corner away. Off we went to
see the Dead Sea Scroll exhibition. I was disappointed on the way in
as we would have no time to see the exhibition. But....

Just 15 minutes before we were to leave the hotel for the airport, Air
Canada called my cell and said "Your flight has been delayed to
9pm.". Wow... I picked up the phone, rescheduled our car pickup,
extended hotel and reconfirmed the flight departure time. I got
online after all the phone calls to check out the museum hours. Good
thing it did not close on Mondays. We walked over and 5 minutes
later, we were walking down to the basement floor for the Dead Sea
Scroll exhibition. What an eye opener! There were not that many
pieces of scrolls but enough to give an over feel. As well, the
history leading up to the findings and all. We spent an hour and a
half in there. Afterward, we went upstairs for the gem stone
exhibition. Wow. Could not believe there were so many natural rock
formations. Some looked like mushroom or fungi. Man, must see!

We killed enough time in there seeing both exhibitions that we did not
have much time left. Good thing.
